Prepositions. A preposition is a word that tells you wherein or when something is with regards to some thing else. Examples of prepositions consist of words like after, before, on, underneath, inside and outside.

A preposition sits in front of (is “pre-located” earlier than) its object. it's miles beneficial to find prepositional phrases in sentences because any noun or pronoun inside the prepositional phrase should be the preposition's object and, therefore, can not be misidentified as a verb's direct item.

It is said to measure about 4,000 miles in circumference. The people live by trade and industry.

spoils of injustice, anarchy, discontent, and hatred were all
around us. It seemed to me that God himself had devised,
to mark my father's end, the most sustained and brutally

had been devised as corrective for the pride of his eldest
son

Read the excerpt from "The Storyteller."

"She did all that she was told, she was always truthful, she kept her clothes clean, ate milk puddings as though they were jam tarts, learned her lessons perfectly, and was polite in her manners.”

"Was she pretty?” asked the bigger of the small girls.

"Not as pretty as any of you,” said the bachelor, "but she was horribly good.”

There was a wave of reaction in favour of the story; the word horrible in connection with goodness was a novelty that commended itself. It seemed to introduce a ring of truth that was absent from the aunt’s tales of infant life.

How does the underlined sentence contribute to the theme that culture can limit our thinking?

It indicates that the aunt’s portrayal of right and wrong is inauthentic and unconvincing.
It shows that children and adults have opposing perspectives on what goodness is.
It characterizes the children as eager to accept any viewpoint that disagrees with their aunt’s.
It satirizes the bachelor’s conception of goodness by comparing it to the one in the aunt’s story.

How does the custom of separating men and women with a “pardah” shape meaning in “The Pardah Nashin”?


The speaker describes the beauty and power of women when they are protected from “thieving” eyes. She uses this custom to express her view that women must be treasured and protected.


By referencing an ancient custom throughout her poem and expressing the sorrow it causes, the speaker makes the argument that it is time for India to change and develop its own modern identity.


By describing the dreamlike experience of the woman, the practice of pardah creates a mysterious mood; this makes the poem feel ancient and otherworldly.


The speaker shows how this custom can be oppressive for women. This portrayal develops the speaker’s theme that women should be free and equal within society.
